I ported BSP_WINCE_ARM_A8_02_30_00 to my Beagleboard xM Rev. B. But NK.bin Hang on kernel initial phase with Persistent Hive Registry Storage and Use SD or MMC card enabled in BSP catelog.

Someone give some clues? Here are logs from serial port:

    There might be numerous reasons why your image does not boot:

    1/ Nand flash driver enabled on a board that do not have NAND Flash device

    2/ Hive defined on the wrong storage content

    3/ SDCard driver not loaded during boot phase 1 -> Check driver flags in registry

    4/ SDCard dependent driver not loaded at boot phase 1 -> check all the SDCard driver dependency drivers flags in registry

    5/ OMAP Bus driver is loading the SDCard driver twice.

    Refer to the wiki for details on how to implement Hive based registry:

    1/ Nand flash driver enabled on a board that do not have NAND Flash device

    checked.

    2/ Hive defined on the wrong storage content

    how can we check for that? Is there any other files needed on sd card, other than MLO/EBoot.nb0/NK.bin?

    3/ SDCard driver not loaded during boot phase 1 -> Check driver flags in registry

    checked

    4/ SDCard dependent driver not loaded at boot phase 1 -> check all the SDCard driver dependency drivers flags in registry

    checked

    5/ OMAP Bus driver is loading the SDCard driver twice.

    how can we check for that?

    Have you followed http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Persistent_Registry_in_ARM-A8_BSP#SD.2FMMC_Persistent_Storage ?

    This gives you detailed steps for enabling Hive-based registry. You could also try with a debug image in order to get more debug traces and information on what might go wrong. If this works, you should get a "Documents and Settings" directory on the SD card that contains the registry as hidden .hv files.

    Sorry for late of response.

    Yes we did check with the guide above and found TI already include those changes into the 2.30 release.

    One more clue -- I find there is a MMC/SD write protect pin on EVM_OMAP3530 platform :

    But beagleboard xM will not have this pin since it has micro SD/TF card support only. Should we modify into SDHC drivers to inhibit Write Protect check for Beagleboard xM?

    BTW, I checked with the content of my micro SD card and had not find "Documents and Settings" directory on it.

    Could you please tell me for what module we need to enable the retail message out? I tried to enable retail message in sdhc.h but can only get a flooding of sd send/receive commands during the booting.

    Some progress today for the SDHC write protect issue:

    We inhibited write protect checking inside sdhc drivers today.  Then Beableboard xM boots successfully and a folder 'Windows' get created on micro SD card. There are 2 sub-folders under it -- 'Keys" and 'Registry", and system.hv hidden file was observed under 'Registry' folder.

    But we still can not get registry storage to work successfully between power cycling. We changed some settings through Control Panel|Volume&Sounds, select OK, and then select Suspend from wince Start icon.  And we find nothing get saved after a  power cycle to the board.

    Should we still missed some configurations or settings, to make wince registries to get saved and retrieved on micro SD card?
